Definitions

  • This invention relates to apparatus for cleaning and drying compressed gasses and especially but not exclusively relates to an air dryer for cleaning and drying compressed air in a vehicle air brake system.
  • Air dryers have been used to dry the air in a vehicle air brake system for many years.
  • the advantages of clean and dry air in such an air brake system have long been recognized, as moisture entrained in the air brake system may during cold weather operation cause the components of the air brake system to freeze, thus rendering the system inoperable.
  • the prior art air dryers normally include a desiccant material through which the compressed air flows. A small quantity of dry air is stored in a purge volume after flowing through the desiccant material.
  • the compressor When the vehicle air compressor has charged the vehicle air reservoirs to a sufficient pressure level, the compressor is unloaded so that the compressor no longer comprises air and a signal is transmitted to a dump valve carried within the air dryer which dumps air pressure from the input region and causes air stored in the purge volume to backflow through the desiccant at a controlled rate to regenerate the dessicant.
  • the apparatus of the present invention seeks to reduce drawbacks of the prior art.
  • apparatus for cleaning and drying compressed gas including an open ended housing having an end cover a desciccant container mounted within said housing and in operative communication with the end cover, said end cover defining an inlet port a sump cavity having a dump valve and a delivery port and a path for compressed gas passing from the inlet port via said sump cavity a filter and a gas receiving cavity between the container and the housing for gas flow in one direction through said container to the delivery port and a signal communication operable from time to time to open said dump valve to effect controlled discharge of dry gas through said container in an opposite direction characterised by said end cover including a circuitous flow path for gas between said inlet port and the sump cavity to effect condensation and downward flow of moisture towards said sump cavity.
  • a cleaner and dryer for compressed gas generally indicated by the numeral 10 includes an open ended outer housing shell 12 and an end cover part 14, which with a plate 24 closes the open end of the shell 12.
  • a desiccant container 16 is received within the shell 12 and cooperates with the latter to define a gas receiving cavity 18 therebetween.
  • the desiccant container 16 includes a cylindrical housing 20 having a closed end 22 that is secured to the plate 24 by fasteners 26.
  • a conventional metal mesh filter element 28 is installed within the lower portion of the housing 20 viewing Figure 1.
  • a screen 30 is attached to a circumferentially extending skirt 32 and is installed in the housing 20 downstream of the filter element 28.
  • Another screen 34 is attached to a circumferentially extending skirt 36 at the opposite end of the container housing 20.
  • the circumferentially extending shoulder 38 circumscribes the housing 20 and acts as a stop for the skirt 32.
  • Desiccant material 40 fills the volume within the housing 20 between the screens 30, 34.
  • a pair of springs 42 yieldably urge the screen 34 downwardly viewing Figure 1, to thereby exert pressure on the desiccant material 40, to keep the desciccant particles compacted against one another.
  • the end of the housing 20 opposite the closed end 22 is closed by a closure member 44 which is clamped to a lip 46 on the housing 20 by a circumferentially extending clamping member 48.
  • the clamping member 48 wedges a seal 50 between the cover member 44 and the lip 46 to form an air-tight connection.
  • a metered opening 52 is provided in the closure member 44 and permits restricted flow of gas to and from the gas receiving cavity 18. Flow through a larger opening 54, which is sufficiently large to permit unrestricted flow, is controlled by a check valve 56 which permits flow into the gas receiving cavity 18 from the interior of the housing 20, but which prevents flow in the reverse direction.
  • An inlet passage comprising openings 58 in the plate and in the closed end 22 of the housing 20 permit compressed gas to communicate into the housing 20.
  • the closed end 22 of the housing 20 is provided with a circumferentially extending recess 60 in which a circumferentially extending seal 62 is disposed.
  • One side of the seal 62 is exposed to the pressure level in the gas receiving cavity 18 and the other side of the seal 62 is exposed to the pressure of the compressed gas communicating into openings 58 through the interface between the closed end 22 of the housing 20 and the plate 24.
  • the seal 62 distorts to permit gas to by-pass the desiccant container 16 and communicate directly into the gas receiving cavity 18.
  • the plate 24 on which the desiccant container 16 is installed is clamped between a circumferentially extending lip 64 on the shell 12 and the end cover part 14 by circumferentially spaced bolts 66.
  • the bolts 66 are so located as to ensure that outlet passage 70 in the end plate 24 is brought into registry with the outlet or delivery port 72 defined within the end cover part 14.
  • a check valve 74 is installed within the outlet or delivery port 72 and permits fluid communication from the gas receiving chamber 18 into the delivery port 72, but prevents communication in the reverse direction.
  • a sump cavity 68 is communicated with an outlet or supply port 76 defined in the end cover part 14 by a circuitous passage generally indicated by the numeral 78.
  • the circuitous path 78 comprises overlapping segments 80, 82, 84 and 86 which are interconnected by 180° bends 88, 90 and 92.
  • the entrance 94 into the first segment 80 communicates with a recess or pocket 96 which communicates with the inlet port 76. Accordingly, compressed gas communicated through the inlet port 76 must be deflected orturned by the walls of the pocket 96 into the entrance 94, but heavier contaminant particles will tend to collect in the pocket.
  • the segments 80-86 are canted at 98, 100, so that the bottom walls of the segments 80-86 form a downwardly spiraling ramp which terminates in the sump cavity 68.
  • Heat is transferred from the incoming gas to the walls of the circuitous passage 78 as the compressed gas travels therethrough, thereby cooling the gas.
  • the upper wall of the circuitous passage 78 is defined by the plate 24, which is provided with circumferentially extending seals 102, 104 between the end cover part 14 and the plate 24.
  • a circumferentially extending seal 106 is provided beween the housing 12 and the plate 24, which is kept in place by circumferentially extending retainer 108.
  • a dump valve generally indicated by the numeral 110 consists of a square-shaped plunger 112 which is slidably received in a square hole or passage 114.
  • a circumferentially extending valve member 116 is secured to one end of the plunger 112 by a bolt 118.
  • a piston 120 is integral with the other end of the plunger 112 and is received within a chamber 122.
  • a spring 124 yieldably urges the piston 120, and therefore the plunger 112, upwardly viewing Figure 1, to maintain the valve member 116 in sealing engagement with circumferentially extending valve seat 126.
  • the chamber 122 is communicated with a control port 12% so that when the pressure of the control port 128 is above a predetermined level, the piston 120 is forced downwardly viewing Figure 1, opening the valve 116 from the valve seat 126. When the pressure at the control port 128 is less than the predetermined pressure level, the spring 124 closes the dump valve 110.
  • the dump valve 110 controls communication from a cavity 129 and the exterior of the air dryer 10.
  • a pair of channels 130, 132 communicate the sump cavity 68 with the cavity 129.
  • an electrical resistance heater is provided in order to assure that freezing weather will not cause water to freeze within the end cover part 14 during operation of the air dryer, thereby rendering the air dryer and particularly the dump valve 110 inoperative.
  • the heater comprises a conventional electrical resistance wire 134 which is connected to a conventional thermostat heater control 136. Power is supplied to the control 136 from an external powre source through conventional connector assembly 138.
  • the outlet of the aforementioned air compressor is connected to the inlet or supply port 76 of the air dryer 10.
  • Air communicated to the supply port 76 flows into the pocket 96 and is deflected into the entrance 94 of the circuitous path 78.
  • the heavier water and oil droplets and other foreign matter contaminating the air because of their momentum, tend to separate and collect in the pocket 96 and at bends 88, 90 and 92.
  • the contact of the air with the side walls of the circuitous path 78 causes heat to be drained from the air into the side walls.
  • a conventional unloader (not shown) communicates a pressure signal to the compressor causing the latter to stop compressing air.
  • the aforementioned pressure signal is also communicated to the conrol port 128 of the dryer mechanism 10.
  • the pressure at the control port 128 is communicated into the chamber 122 where it acts on piston 120 to urge the latter downwardly viewing Figure 1. Downward movement of the piston 120 forces the value 116 away from the valve seat 126, thereby venting the channels 130, 132 and the sump cavity 68 to void the contaminants such as water and oil residue that have drained into the sump cavity 68 and explained hereinabove.
  • the reduction of the pressure level in the sump cavity 68 also exhausts the compressed air in the desiccant container 16, which rapidly depressurizes the latter, carrying out the moisture, oil droplets and other contaminants entrained on the desiccant material 40 and the filter element 28. Thereafter, while the valve 110 remains open, air stored in the gas receiving cavity 18 bleeds through the orifice or opening 52 to gradually desorb the moisture previously absorbed in the desiccant bed 40.
  • the check valve 74 protects compressed air in the aforementioned downstream reservoir from being bled back into the gas receiving cavity 18 as the latter is gradually depressurized.
  • the check valve 56 prevents flow of air through the opening 54, to assure that the regeneration of the desiccant bed 40 will take place at a controlled, even rate by bleeding air through the orifice 52.
  • the compressor again begins to compress air and the signal communicated to the control port 128 is terminated, thereby permitting the spring 124 to re-close the valve member 116 against the seat 126, so that the air dryer 10 can thereafter clean and dry the compressed air as discussed hereinabove.
